Coach at start of game

[Adam]

Mark,
Assuming we have a coach's box. I don't have a problem switching head coaches in the middle of the game, at any point. Here are three alternatives for dealing with it.

1. Tell the AC right away that he is the assistant, and as such cannot stand during the game. Team has no HC for GM purposes until real HC arrives. I don't like this one.

2. Tell the AC right away that he is the head coach for game management purposes (with all the rights and responsibilities inherent in that), and the real HC will be an AC for gm purposes.

3. Not worry about it, and if there are no T's prior to HC arriving, allow the change. If there is a direct T on the assistant coach (acting HC), that would then transfer as an indirect T on the new HC. If there has been an indirect T on the AC (acting HC), it transfers to the HC when he takes over duties. This would need to be communicated prior to change in personnel.
